I do not have to think what the intent of the rule is, I was officiating long before the rule was in place. And this rule has been tweaked several times over when it comes to color and these types of items. The rule for undershirts was long before these accessory items that were started by Allen Iverson to be popularized. So no, it would not stand to reason that any undershirt item has anything to do with an arm sleeve. Even full length tights have little or nothing to do with leg sleeves. For a long time these items were worn and there is no restriction of what color they were or even if they had a logo or how many different type of items could be worn.

Who said the rule was created for confusion? The rule was created to have uniformity in items. Not sure how different colors of a head band or a sleeve causes confusion.
